nice pics! ive been drifting my mustang a couple years now. i was trying to get serious with drifting until i decided to swap my engine which kind of destroyed my seriousness. ive been taught by dai yoshiara last august at a private track even (dont ask how i got it) basically specs on cars are up to ur preference. i started out with a v6 and now i hav a v8 on the car and i love the v8...
Clutch: ur perfectly fine with the stock clutch honestly just use it up until u start slipping
Driveshaft:stock drive shaft is fine. i dont really recommend alluminum driveshaft cuz ive read that some ppl bend the driveshaft which wont be fun to buy another one
Axles: stock axle is fine our 1.5 differential is perfect. master drifting with the stock differential and when u think ur ready go with a 2 way diff.
Gear Ratio: 3.31 stocks are terrible but again try to master it. 3:73 or 4:10 will be perfect for drifting
Hydro Ebrake setup: definitely a must if u hav the money
**Suspension: Adjustable sway bars is a must. Coilovers or strut/shocks upgrade is a must. Lowering Springs is also a must too.
Tires: u dont need great tires just hav decent good gripping front tires. the rear u can hav watever u lik. id recommend having 255 at the rear at least. 225 is too skinny for our cars.
again drifting is all about knowing ur car and a having the right suspension. instead of buying all those other parts hav suspension first. u dont need to hav power in order to drift. u need knowledge and suspension. hav a lot of used tires with u. never buy new tires u will eat ur wallet up fast. and also study drift bible on youtube and watch formula drift.
if u wanna save ur clutches life try not use the technique clutch kick. i dont lik using this cuz i get scared when i engage it. i love using the ebrake to start my drift.
heres a video bak in the days when i first started drifting.
